So part of the problem is/was (at Xbox at one time so can only assume its still happening everywhere) these "Devs" can pretty much do and say what they want and so far these companies like Sony/Xbox fear stopping them over the inevitable backlash
when you are "special" its hard to get fired because you can always cry "bigots!" on social media ...
Sony in a tight spot. Game failed for being woke and stupid. I don’t know if they can fire folk for being woke and stupid too. Woke folk are forever victims, so they will either sue for wrongful termination, or agree to generous severance packages.
even if the manage to close the studio, closing a studio 1 y after you bought it at an expensive price makes you look pretty stupid no ?
Monday, Tuesday... same thing. Funny to see though. With those lower lows every day, it was expected and inevitable.
The question is Why are the media obsessed with this game to success ?
When u look at the woke abyss for long enough like those clowns, abyss starts to look back at u, at that point u transform urself into zealot who denies logic, sanity or any kind of self thinking and are basically puppet repeating buzzwords that ur purple overlords ingrained into ur skin
Ok, who was it yesterday or the day before who said Monday would be double digits. I know someone said it.
Double digits
I wonder if this is another one of Sony’s pandemic panic buys (like Bungie). Gaming market was growing like crazy, Microsoft was buying up like half the gaming industry, here’s this promising studio with vets from Bungie and Activision, hero shooters are hot shit. Throw some money at them, build them a new office, do whatever it takes to make their game a PS5 console exclusive!
Business isn’t that complicated.
I think we're seeing a shift amongst consumers - games like Concord will bomb hard.
Indeed.
Absolutely. I think gamers are just so, so fucking tired of games made for “modern audiences”. We’ve reached the point where gamers are forcefully rejecting anything with even the slightest scent of wokeness.
I'm more impressed with Eastern games/devs as a result. Who seem to be more concerned with making good games instead of hiring 100s of diversity consultants.
Yup.
Video games were exclusively made by nerds; now the goal of devs/pubs is to satisfy some arbitary 'diversity' criteria. As a result, it seems more an more of purple haired pronoun displaying he/shes/they/thems (to this date I still do not understand the purpose of pronouns - perhaps someone can enlighten me) are spear heading games, and hence the constant reinforcement of such ideas in games.
And those purple haired idots that are spear heading games absolutely hate gamers, "Gamers are the worst" and all that nonsense, so its no wonder the games are crap because theyre not for gamers, lol
Unless they go full stupid, like Bud Light did. My understanding is that they still haven't recovered despite getting Kid Rock and the UFC to get behind them after they both slammed them.
This is why i think some Sony studios can be in danger and why i think Concord will be a blessing in disguise.
Bud light has dropped to third. Michelob is now second in the US. But Michelob is also owned by Budweiser so it’s not as bad. I never knew modelo was such a popular beer in the US to be #1. Almost nobody drinks it in Canada.
I dont know if they were in rut, but they had barely done anything themselves, mosy just support. Seems like Asobo really took over their role
For sure. I think diversity is generally a very good thing.
My guess is that they absolutely gut the studio, but keep the programmers and gameplay folks around to use on other projects as a support studio.
Give it time, this studio has its days counted.
That would make the most sense in my opinion. The people involved in the design and art direction probably need some well wishes on the way to their next opportunity while the programmers and gameplay folks move to other studios or become a support shop.
